the Contractor against third parties for
such loss or damage and the Contractor
must promptly assign such rights in
writing to the Government.
• 3052.228–93 Risk and Indemnities
(USCG). (Included in any contract for
the lease of an aircraft.) Requires the
contractor to provide the Government
with evidence of insurance.
• 3052.235.70 Dissemination of
Information-Educational Institutions.
(Included in contracts with educational
institutions for research that are not
sensitive or classified.) Contractors must
provide advanced electronic copies of
articles to the Government covering the
results of research it plans to publish.
The information requested is used by
the Government’s contracting officers
and other acquisition personnel,
including technical and legal staff, for
various reasons such as determining the
suitability of contractor personnel
accessing DHS facilities; to ensure no
organizational conflicts of interest exist
during the performance of contracts; to
ensure the contractor maintains
applicable licenses and permits for the
removal and disposal of hazardous
materials; and to otherwise ensure firms
are performing in the Government’s best
interest. Failure to collect this
information would adversely affect the
quality of products and services DHS
receives from contractors. For example,
potentially, contractors who are lead
system integrators could acquire direct
financial interests in major systems the
contractors are contracted to procure,
which would compromise the integrity
of acquisitions for the Department. In
addition, contractors who own, control
or operate a business providing
protective guard services could possess
felony convictions during the
performance of contracts, putting the
Department at risk. Furthermore,
contractors could change key personnel
during the performance of contracts and
use less experienced or less qualified
personnel to reduce costs, which would
adversely affect DHS’s fulfillment of its
mission requirements.
Many sources of the requested
information use automated word
processing systems, databases,
spreadsheets, project management and
other commercial software to facilitate
preparation of material to be submitted.
With Government-wide implementation
of e-Government initiatives, it is
commonplace within many of DHS’s
Components for submissions to be
electronic.
Disclosure/non-disclosure of
information is handled in accordance
with the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA), other disclosure statutes, and

Federal and agency acquisition
regulations.
The burden estimates are based upon
definitive contract award data reported
by DHS and its Components to the
Federal Procurement Data System
(FPDS) for Fiscal Year 2016. No program
changes occurred, however the burden
was adjusted to reflect an increase in the
number of respondents within DHS for
Fiscal Year 2016, as well as an increase
in the average hourly wage rate. The
decrease in the previously reported
average burden per response (from 14
hours to 6.2 hours) is as a result of the
addition of clauses to the burden hour
analysis with relatively low burden
hours.
This is an extension of a currently
approved collection, 1600–0003. OMB
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
USGS; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the USGS enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the USGS minimize the burden of
this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal

you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to

Abstract: As part of the USGS
Ecosystems mission to assess the status
and trends of the Nation’s biological
resources, the Alaska Science Center
Landbird Program conducts research on
avian populations within Alaska.
Beginning in the late 1990s, an outbreak
of beak deformities in Black-capped
Chickadees emerged in southcentral
Alaska. USGS scientists launched a
study to understand the scope of this
problem and its effect on wild birds.
Since that time, researchers have
gathered important information about
the deformities but their cause still
remains unknown. Members of the
public provide observation reports of
birds with deformities from around
Alaska and other regions of North
America. These reports are very
important in that they allow researchers
to determine the geographical
distribution and species affected. Data
collection over such a large and remote
area would not be possible without the
public’s assistance.
Title of Collection: Alaska Beak
Deformity Observations.

Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

In 1899, 54 cultural items were
removed from the sites of Homolovi I
and II in Navajo County, AZ. These
items were removed from burials by J.A.
Burt, an employee of the Field Museum,
as part of a Museum-sponsored
excavation he conducted during the
winter of 1899–1900. The 38
unassociated funerary objects from
Homolovi I consist of one awl, one
knife, one stone ear pendant, three
ceramic mugs, four ceramic ladles, four
ceramic pots, and 24 ceramic bowls.
The 16 unassociated funerary objects
from Homolovi II consist of one ceramic
cup, one chipped stone object, two
ceramic ladles, four ceramic pots, and
eight ceramic bowls.
Homolovi I was occupied from
around A.D. 1285 to 1390, and
Homolovi II was occupied from around
A.D. 1350 to 1400. Based on
archeological research, scholarly
research, consultation, and museum
records, both Homolovi I and II are
affiliated with the Hopi Tribe of Arizona
and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni
Reservation, New Mexico. The items
described above were determined to be
unassociated funerary objects based on
Burt’s own notes, which indicate the
specific grave from which he removed
each item.
Determinations Made by the Field
Museum
Officials of the Field Museum have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 54 cultural items described above
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony and
are believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
